The Web Transformation of Invoice by SpiderG

Day to day life leads everyone to perform billions of transactions regarding receipts, bills, and other invoice papers during a single year. Dealing with invoices is generally or mostly, the hardcopy of transacting carried out for different works. Management of these have never been easier, but what changed them is SpiderG. Being the first e- invoicing platform, SpiderG was started by three friends, Ashwani Rathore, Prakash Nair and Harshal Ingale in 2015 with a mission to minimize the paper invoices through their portal, forming a reliable bond between a company and customers.

Following up of all these papers could be frustrating. Loss of bills, double payment, miscalculation, etc. were the hiccups that this Pune-based startup overcame. The three friends are operating the startup ahead to make this process of invoice an easy and manageable workout for SMEs.

How a spider builds its network by weaving is where the name originated. The three co- founders seeking to build the network of “connected” business with the ‘G’ which represents their Parent company Gladiris Technology came up with this name. Their long-term goal is to expand the business forming a secure network.

Also, he had been a technology consultant for several small companies in software and hardware design, and implementation.

Problems are Guidelines

In starting, like other startups, it was tough to find the appropriate talent for them. The biggest problem they think is, people join the startups, but the issue is their stability. As soon as they acquire a better opportunity and salary they switch the job. They, therefore, introduced a quite different approach. They ask the interested candidate to work for 1 or 2 weeks before the joining so that it helps out to get the desired candidate with a better vision about him.

From the idea till now the implementation, their families have been very supportive. Moreover, the startup industry’s fever across the globe has done remaining work to impress them. The startup along with these three heads has a team of 15 members those are serving various SMEs across the country.
